A PENNED UP PUBLIC.


People Must stay at Home or Suffer
Imposition at the Hands Of Hack
men.--Where IL the Railway
"Oh. for the street railway Such is
the cry that breaks forth every year
about this time. "0h, for the street
railway" or some other way of getting a
breathing spell out of town when the
ferry is laid up, without paying so dearly
for it. The present condition of affairs
may be altogether satisfactory to the
ferry company and to certain class-a
very small class-of merchants on this
side who fear competition with Dav-
export, but it is rather q serious joke to
the general public who are the sufferers.
The time has long since passed when the
representative merchants of Rock Island
cry out for fence around the town to
keep trade at home. They have found
that there is way to cope with Dayen>
poit, and they suffer no longer from
custom going there. People who
want to trade in Rock Island do
80, and the same is true OF those desir-
Gus to go to Davenport. If they want to
go there they will get there some way.
But the enterprising Rock Island mer-
chant stands on level with the merchant
of Davenport, or any other city today,
and you will make him pretty mad If you
tell him he. don't, and if investigation
| were made. we would be apt in
deed to find that there is quite respecS
table little profit coming into the hands
| of Rock Island merchants right along
| from Davenport patronage. Rock Island
merchants are abe to hold their own
with those of Davenport. Hence the
street railway would be mutual benefit,
acceptable to all classes and beneficial to
all If the ferry were out now it would
be running, but it is hemmed in by q
gorge at the lower saw mill, and with the
present low water, may not get around
again this season.
In the meantime what are the public
going to do? Pay hackman the extor'
tionate sum of fifty cents or 81, or walk
What difference between fifty cents fol
riding in a street hack and five cents fo
a street car But where are the cars, Il
the winter season continued all the yea
round, we might find out.
The spirit of human natur
rebels against such seeming in
prisonment. Fifty cents is large pric
to pay to get out of the city except dur
ing hours the railroad make for leaving

a1xYRAL JANIS o. HILL vourHAfxp
ron RAILROAD coNnISsI0Hx1.
Adjourned to nsst st Call sf Chairman
pssses q the General Assembly for
Thirty Days Probable.

At the Democratic caucus held in the
hall of the House Of Delegates last
night, on the fifth ballot General James
G. Hill was nominated for railroad
commissioner, an Office worth $500
per annum. The names voted for du-
ring the contes. we're J. C. Hill, H. g..
Moffett, Captain Sumpter, General w.
b. Taliaferro, and w. T. Atkins. The
vote on the final ballot was Hill, 30
Moffett, 33 (; Sumpter, 2. Most OF the
Sumpter men upon the last roll-cali
gave their support to Hill, and thereby
insured his success.
General Hill was for many years Q
resident of this city, but is now, and
has for long time, been o citizen OF
scottsville. During the war he was
first captain and then major in the
Forty-sixth regiment OF Virginia vol
unteer infantry-the same regiment to
which the Blues of this city belonged.
Major Hill was an officer OF rare cour-
age and coolness. By wound re-
ceiyed in battle his right arm was dis.
abled. and had finally to be amputated
at the shoulder. He was at one time in
the Transportation business, and held
an office in Baltimore with steamboat
company. He is the editor OF the
Scottsville Courier, and has served
several terms as member Of the House ;
also, as mayor of Scottsville. He is
widely known throughout the State,
and possesses excellent qualifications
for the office of commissioner, which
will no doubt enable him to make his
administration valuable to the State and
creditable to himself.
The caucus adjourned to meet at the
call of the chairman but il seemed
generally understood that the effort
would be made to clear the calendars
of all possible business, so that abont
Wednesday the General Assembly
could take recess for thirty days.
